Emerson's Restaurant

To start the space was definitely not fine dining. Noisey room, difficult to have a conversation across the table. The food was good not great. Prices were higher than what the quality of the food reflected. On the other hand the wine from Adina estate that was served was very good!

All variations to the menu we requested were perfectly provided. Nothing seemed to phase them., The only negative is the polished floor can echo with a full restaurant; but only minor really. Liked the Adina wines on the list and would have liked some more local wines.

Very understated restaurant however the food was all really delicious and flavoursome. Octopus cooked with paprika and butter, Mushroom risotto and Mahi Mahi cooked in brown butter sultanas and topped with almond flakes were stand outs. We loved it and would recommend to our friends and family.

menu was simple with good variety of choice. Risotto was well cooked with good flavor. wines by glass/bottle on pricy side for the Hunter Valley. Service was good without being overbearing. Sitting outside in autumn weather added to the experience.

An excellent restaurant with a long term reputation to uphold. Emerson is very friendly & his waitress is very thoughtful & willing to assist as required. Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the Hunter Valley! I recommend it to my friends. Food is always superior.

The food was lovely and we were happy with the meals, service, restaurant etc. When we looked up the restaurant and it's menu online we saw a very different menu to the one we were given which was slightly disappointing as we all looked forward to certain dishes. Food was still lovely though.

The food was exceptional. Karaage Chicken entree is delicious as was the Dick Pâté. Stand out dishes were the Boullibaise, Suckling pig and the cauliflower side. Venue is a little noisy as it’s too open. They could also add a small kids menu but otherwise fantastic food.

The steak was one of the chewiest I've had in recent memory, It was sent back but came out just as tough and slightly more pink (unnoticeable). There was no kids menu offered. For the kids, we ordered the Chicken karage, which supposedly tasted good; however, were ordered as a main size even though it was for six and ten-year-old girls—charged $38 each for chicken karage. Other patrons offered kids options who were even older than our kids. Staff had no clue what they were doing. Overall this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in the last five years and definitely the worst ever at the hunter valley, and I've been going up there for close to a decade.

Food was excellent with a nice setting outside In summer I’d definitely recommend inside due to flies A few little one percent things brought down the score but the food was that good I’d definitely go back

Delicious food!!! Will be back again.

Wonderful food. We had the banquet and the chef should be commended. Every dish was delicious. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. While our group was probably a little too loud, the room seemed to echo and amplify the noise of everyone in there, making it hard to hear sometimes. That was my only complaint though. I would definitely return.

Excellent food and friendly staff, about 6 th time we have eaten there, best restaurant in the area amongst many. Preferable to book as very popular!

Had a nice dinner here with my sister and nephew, the garlic prawns were absolutely amazing! Recommend you order the dish if you go.

We absolutely loved Emerson's! this place has amazing food. Not just yummy, but generous servings and great staff! A must try at the Hunter! thank you for a beautiful dinner ????

Venue was pleasant and tables were well-spaced to comply with health situation. Our waitress was cheerful and helpful and the food very tasty. I would be happy to eat there again.

Meals are quite large so I think next visit we will do the menu as if they were designed to be share plates. Very rarely do we ever let good food win, on this occasion we did. Food was lovely just wished we had paced ourselves!! ????

We were so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! It was a last minute booking. The food and wine was superb. The staff were friendly, the location was also very beautiful. We had such a lovely afternoon.

Food was good but most were wines on the list not available and service whilst friendly was not professional.

Good food, lovely staff, terrible ambiance Orders suckling pig - was mostly crackling not much meat Barramundi was nice Kids spaghetti was good but a little under cooked

The food as always was amazing..... will always return, relaxed feel can eat fantastic food without having to dress to the nines. When on a relaxing weekend just want to breeze in after a long day out, eat and drink well and go back to the accommodation and relax. Enjoyed the whole experience.
